Hi guys,

African elephant.
I realy like this one.
But let me see what you think about it

A walkaround :

I think , the details are great... maybe the texture is a bit too strong, but it`s better like that, then without :) The paint work is also very good..

here you can see the mark :

Very nice figurine, Kosta! It almost looks like a polystone statue. Congratulations!

Nice elephant!

Thank you Julie and Andreas :)

Yes, indeed

Fantastic elephant

SO much nicer than the official photos, - I think it is one of the best elephant-models I have seen

It is realy nice surprise indeed :)
I also think the same Susanne

Very interesting. Considering what is average in Chinese based companies, this elephant is far better than the most part of them. I also think it is nicer than many elephants from major brands. A brand to follow for sure. :)
Maybe we should change the name of this topic?

I`m glad you like it Roger :)
It is a nice piece indeed :)

That`s a good idea I think :)
And I hope, that we will see more new models from this brand, becouse they have potential :)

Nice small elephant The texture is a bit too rough for my taste but I like a lot the front pic, very photogenic!

I think we should split the topic and open a walkaround Hongshao elephant topic

Yeah, the texture is a bit too rough for me too, but on real doesn`t look bad :)
That`s also a nice idea :)

I understand, sometimes pics are very hard for models.

Thank you for this topic Kiki :)

Yes, you're right, this is a great walk around and deserves its own topic... so work is done.

Kosta, thanks for the pictures, they look much better than the catalogue images.
The colour is very good and the overall proportions aren't bad, the ears are a bit too large.
I might buy his figure and customize it, could you please share the link where you purchased it?

Thanks.

Thank you for your comment :)
I bought the model from Aliexpress. Many sellers have these models there,
but I chose this one : HERE ,
becouse was cheaper, even with shipping $1.47.
There is also another seller, from who I bought the hyena for example and his shipping is free.
THIS ONE
But his elephant is more expensive...
:)

Thank you Kosta for the links, I will look into them.

wow HongShao is a cool new brand. i just checked the links and saw the other models. are they the same scale as the major brands? (too bad about the leopard's cheetah paint tho)

They are smaller !

Hi Sauroid,
yes, I think if Hongshao continue making models, they can be better and better :)
You can see some of them [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] together with major brands models
